re: On a dollar basis, taxation does not hurt nor benefit an economy

You have multiple quality sources (read: sources capable of making such a measurement) that have quantified this impact? And you're saying that they unanimously deem the effiect "negligible"? At least you concede that on net it retards growth. Go ahead and present your "data".

Yes, and more importantly you have them also. If you choose to accept the premise that any level of taxation is bad for business because it is bad for business that is your choice. The fact is that the main impact of taxation is on individual economies....since no one enjoys taxation we find it necessary to overstate the negative impacts which are negligible...not non-existent but fairly small...because being honest and admitting that the main detrimental effect of taxation is that it pisses us off. Again being pissed off can negatively impact business but by the nature of capitalism you better get some vagaseal and quit whining about being pissed off....
